Film

One of the worst Amityville films in the long running series, no story, bad acting, no gore, crap music, etc.

Video

This has to be the worst transfer I have ever seen on a DVD, it is presented in 1.33:1Full-Frame and I can`t explain how terrible the picture is. Try this, get an old camcorder, film something in the dark, on long play, leave the tape in a cold, damp room for a year. Now watch it and the picture will still be better than this.

Audio

We are given 2.0 dolby digital stereo and it sounds awful. Music, sounds and voices all sound muffled and no matter how many times you watch some parts of the film you can`t understand what the people are saying.

Features

Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, THERE AIN`T ANY!!!

Overall

One of the worst films in the Amityville series gets one of the worst DVD releases ever. Not even a film as bad as this deserves a DVD like this, someone should have a long chat with MIA about wasting their time doing evil acts like this, no wonder it only costs about £5.

the movie itself is probably the best in a poor series.but the picture and sound make the average porn movie at a bootsale look like DVD Quality.i have seen pirate movies with better sound and picture than this.MIA should be utterly ashamed of themselves.the sooner someone else gets the rights to this and other movies in there collection the better for real dvd fans.after 10 minutes i turned the movie off the picture was too bad and the sound inaudible.luckily i exchanged it for something else.
